Seoul, South Korea: Yeonjun's house.

CHOI YEONJUN

—Soobin, I feel flattered, but my answer remains the same. I want you to take your time – I admitted while getting apart from him.

—I knew what you would say, but I wanted to try to tell you again. I guess I only want to do something for you, too – Soobin admitted, looking cute and pure while speaking.

I held Soobin's cheek while smiling at him—. If you want to do something for me, be cautious with Hyunsoo.

—Are you jealous?

—Very much!

Soobin chuckled before hugging me; I felt his arms tighten around me, so instantly, I stroked his hair.

—Are you okay?

—I'm getting better, but I still have glimpses of my past with Minsu. I guess you are right; I need time – Soobin murmured before hiding his face against my neck.

—Yes, I know you do, and you can have all of it. Okay? – I sincerely told Soobin; he only hummed as an answer while I stroked his hair.

—This upcoming week, could you stay close to me? I don't want to feel lonely.

—Of course, count on that – I said before hugging Soobin tighter, but suddenly, our moment got interrupted. Soobin's phone rang, causing him to get apart from me and take it from the table.

—Hyunsoo? – Soobin said, making me take his phone and look at the screen.

—Why is he calling you?

—I don't know – Soobin answered as I declined the call and immediately went to his contacts and blocked him. I heard my boyfriend laugh while watching me. But soon, I put the phone on the table and returned my attention to Soobin. From behind, I wrapped my arms around his body and placed my chin on his shoulder.

—I can't believe you are jealous of him – Soobin mocked me.

—Shut up! – I mumbled before getting comfortable on Soobin's shoulder. He continued to laugh at me before caressing my head gently.

"I admit it; I can't stand Hyunsoo close to Soobin. And why did he call him?" I thought, annoyed.


Nighttime.

Nightfall came. And with it, Soobin's tiredness began to show more. While watching a movie, he began resting his head on my lap and soon fell asleep. I caressed his hair while continuing the film until I noticed him sleeping peacefully. Immediately, I turned off the TV and focused on him, yet, my eyes glanced interchangeably at his phone. Cautiously, I grabbed it and unlocked the screen.
